Although its been pretty quite on here while we're sharing over at Our South African Journey, I wanted to take a minute to convey how absolutely overwhelmed our hearts have been today. July 23rd will be a day of celebration in our books. (well, it's already a huge day of celebration because its my nephew's birthday-happy birthday, sweet Jackson! We would be there to celebrate with you, but we're busy getting you a life long playmate) :)
It's Gotcha Day! So today we became parents for the third time (I feel really old when I say that) to Elijah Sandile Raby. So we celebrated....thanking God for His sovereign and protective grace that has led us to today. Adoption is a miracle.
Another miracle of today is that Ethan has a virus!! For a couple of weeks Ethan's blood counts have been pretty low and today his virus finally caused something detectable-an ear infection. Even more of a miracle is that his CBC showed a significant increase in his platelets, which is fantastic! While I know it hasn't been fun for my mom to spend so many hours at the doctor this week, we are so thankful and at complete peace with the care our kiddos have been getting from their grandparents. And let me just say that FaceTime is a wonderful thing!!!
Because his numbers dipped low and because it's been a while since we've seen his doctor at Vanderbilt, Ethan has been scheduled for another biopsy there on August 6th. He will also be having weekly CBC tests until then. His next blood work is on Friday (26th), and we would love to see some super high numbers. We are incredibly humbled and thankful for the many praying for our E-man, and we want to give you reason to praise while you keep praying for him.
Journeying On,
Sara
